ROANOKE, VA., WEDNlSSl WHO WILL BE PRESIDENT ? Both Sides Confidently Claiming Victory of the Ballots. Chicago, Nov, 3.?The returns received by the Associated Press up to midnight indicate the piobable election of McKln, ley mid Hobnrt, although returns are so meagre from a number ot doubtful States thrf . this conclusion can only he readied by an estimate, based upon the gains and br.ses. The best estimates obtainable indicate tiliit Maine and Vermont have given ma? jorities somewhat, reduced from the. Sep? tember elections?that New Hampshire gives about 20,000; Massachusetts about 12,000 and Rhode Island and Conuecti <m proportionate majorities, all for Mc? Kinley; New York is estimated at above 250,000 and Pennsylvania is likely to roach the same figure, if nut greater. Maryland has been carried for the Re? publican candidate for President by a ma? jority exceeding 20,000 and Delaware is conlideut.lv claimed by both, apparently in dispute, althoughtthe plurality i- not likely to exceed 1,000. The returns from West Virginia are notsufiicieul to justify 'lie claim of either party. Ohio has given a very large Republican plurality and Kentucky is apparently assured to the McKinley column, although later returns may not justify this claim. Tennessee seems to have been carried for Bryan, notwithstanding the confident assertions to the contrary of the Republican mana? gers, and the same is probably true of North Carolina. Indiana and Michigan as well us Minnesota indicate heavy Ku publicnn gains and n strong probability that I hey have gone for McKinley. Illi? nois will give McKinley ovet 100,000 plu? rality and Nebraska and North Dakota and F.outb Dakota are very (dose and still iu doubt Wyoming seems to have gone for McKinley. The returns from the Pa? cific coast BtateKnrc too meagre to justify any claim respecting tbem. The States of Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and Idaho may safely be placed in the Bryan column. The returns from Kansas and Texas are scattering and in? dicate nothing, although heavy Republi? can gains are teported from Dallas and Gnlveston. At 12:30 later returns seen to indicate, that West Virginia, Michignu *nnd Ken? tucky can be added to the Republican column. VIRGINIA?12 vote . The Old Dominion True to tie Principles of Democracy.

Chnirnvin .loin's Nsues a Statement at Midnight to This Effect. Chicago, Nov. :i.?At midnight Chair? man .tones gave out the following sigued statement: "There is no foundation for the claims of the Republicans. There is at this tune, midnight, no reason to think that any of the States claimed by mc for Mr. Bryan have failed to vote for him. While misleading reports are being sent out in all directions private advices assure its that each of these States have gone for Mr. Bryan. For two hours the most ex? travagant claims as to Kentucky ami Indiana have been telegraphed all over the cuuutry, while within the last few minutes our committee- assure us that both 'are safe for us. Mr. Bryan is cer? tainly elected." "] have seen no unfavorable reports from any State that we have claimed, ex? empt from Kentucky." said Chairman .lanes. "Reports from that State Indi? cate a larger defection titan we hail an? ticipated, but we do not concede that State by any means. We can lose Ken? tucky and then have enough electoral votes to win." At 11 p. m. Chairman Jones received a message from State Chairman Martin stating that Indiana was absolutely cer? tain foi Bryan. Private telegrams' from .Michigan indicate large Democratic gains and the Democratic committee have based their hopes of Bryan's election upon these two States. At 1 :l"i Chairman .tones said: '? This whole nffnir this evening has been most extraordinary. 1 have just received word from Raleigh, N. C. which states that North Carolina is absolutely safe for Bryan and by at least 20,lHX) ma? jority, and the reports have been giving it to McKinley till evening. This is only n -specimen of the way things are going. The Republicans seem to have taken charge of the returns and are sending them out to suit their own purposes.Then i- something wrong about the way thing have liccn going to-night." Both Democratic and Populist lenders emphatically claim Bryan's election. ??1 believe that these early reports arc to prepare the country to believe that Mc? Kinley is elected," said Chairman George T. Washburu, of thnPopulist committee. "Our priv ate advices from t be States that lire base claimed do not indicate that Mc? Kinley has carried one of them and we feel justified in Claiming thai these early ilepublicau reports are for the purpose of preparing the country to believe that McKinley is elected whether he is or not ami in case of a close rote should a con? test lie made it would operate to their ad? vantage We are not justified in yield? ing a single one of the States which we have claimed. ??At 1 a. in. all reports that we have re ceiveil justify us in believing that Bryan Is elected. If we can enrrj Indiana ami Michigan, and our reports justify us in claiming them, we can lose Kentucky, which we still claim, Maryland, Dela. ware and West Virginia and st ill win. The reports from Indiana and Michigan are from the sections bavin:,' the best tel? egraphic facilities, and we expect t hem to he Republican Out strength lies iu the rural districts, which will not be beard from until to-night. The few towns that we have heard from Indicate great gains ami will offset the Republican uains in the larger cities. 1 think you will agree with me in this," suhl Mr. Wash burn, turning to Senator Jones. "I do most emphatically," said he. ??They can't figure out 'McKinley's elec? tion to* flight. It's purely a ganie of bluff, We have the same facilities as they fcr arriving at results and there is no justification in their returns. Chicago. ? It is understoid that Na? tional Chairman Jones telegraphed to Mime prominent Democrats in the East to the effect that, notwithstanding the claims of the Republicans be still be? lieved that Mr. Bryan would have about 250 electoral tote--; that he bad Informa? tion that Indiana and Michigan bad gone fur Bryan without a doubt.
